C4699 Holding the Throne in the Hands of the Prince!
Chen Xiao looked at the back of the Seventh Prince and his men as they left, deep in thought.
"Brother Chen Xiao, what's wrong?" The Third Prince asked curiously.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just feel that it's a bit funny."
The Third Prince was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Xiao waved his hand and set up a barrier before saying, "If I'm not wrong, the Seventh Prince has already been controlled by Yi Tianren. His life and death are not up to him."
The Third Prince was shocked and said in disbelief, "Controlled? What do you mean?"
Chen Xiao pointed at his own head and said, "Just like you."
"What?" The Third Prince's chin almost fell to the ground as he digested this news with great difficulty.
If he was the same as him, the Seventh Prince would also be controlled by Yi Tianren and become his puppet.
Although Chen Xiao had used the power of the slave seal to control him, the Third Prince still trusted Chen Xiao. He trusted Chen Xiao's character and would not do anything rash.
However, Yi Tianren and Li Zhan were different. These two people were ruthless, despicable, and sinister. They would use any means to achieve their goals.
Only God knew what would happen to the Peerless Dynasty once such people took the throne. It was simply too terrifying.
Chen Xiao sighed and said, "I think I'm not wrong."
"Then, what should we do?" The Third Prince was a little panicked.
Chen Xiao smiled playfully and said, "When the army comes, we will deal with it. You should think of a way to deal with these things. As for those Immortal Realm cultivators, I will deal with them."
Of course, he was not going to help the Third Prince, but to help himself.
Chen Xiao knew very well that once the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, Yi Tianren and Li Zhan would control the entire Peerless Divine Dynasty. At that time, it would be the beginning of the calamity of Purple Cloud City, and he would not be able to escape.
This battle was very important, so he had to do his best. If he lost, he would be doomed.
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, he felt much more at ease.
"Brother Chen Xiao, with your words, I have a plan." The Third Prince said.
"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded, and glanced at the King Duan who was sitting on the ground with an expressionless face.
He felt a lot of emotions. As a member of the imperial family, he did not want to get involved in this battle for the throne, but he could not avoid it.
Being involved in it, he could not help it. It was not up to him to decide whether he wanted to avoid it or not.
If he did not have such a realization, he would have met the same end. He should not have thought that he could rely on his neutral attitude to avoid all conflicts. He was too naive.
Especially at this critical moment, the Seventh Prince was already fighting for the throne and had the intention to kill.
The Third Prince sighed and took a step forward to help Prince Duan up.
"Uncle Prince Duan, what are your plans for the future?"
"I..." Prince Duan hesitated and looked at Chen Xiao, not knowing what to do.
He was originally a person with a soft and indecisive personality, and did not want to get involved in these matters, but others would not easily let him go.
Chen Xiao sneered and said, "Prince Duan wants to be independent. How can it be so easy in this world? Your thoughts are too young and immature."
Chen Xiao's words were already lenient, and did not add salt to the wound of Prince Duan's residence.
"Alas." Prince Duan sighed heavily, his eyes filled with silence, "I know that the Seventh Highness's personality is not that narrow-minded and petty, but when it comes to the struggle for the throne, he changes into a different person. He does not care about any means to achieve his goal. It is truly terrifying. As long as you don't go against his will, and those who don't submit to him are enemies in his eyes, they are thorns in his flesh."
Prince Duan was an understanding person, and with just one sentence, he had explained everything.
Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Even if they don't stand on my side and remain neutral, it is still impossible.
The Seventh Highness's personality was already somewhat abnormal.
The Third Prince's heart sank, and he questioned, "So, you already understand, then why do you still ask?"
"Alas, it is probably because he has some hope. I thought that everyone was of the same blood, and the Seventh Highness would not be so ruthless, but I didn't expect..."
King Duan replied with a sobbing tone.
"This..." The Third Prince was speechless for a moment.
That's right, if one was not forced to the corner, one would always have a slim chance of survival. King Duan was the same.
He thought that as long as he maintained his neutrality and did not interfere with this matter, he would be able to rest easy. He never thought that the Seventh Prince would not let him off so easily.
"Heh."
Chen Xiao laughed and did not say much.
"What a naive person. Since ancient times, this kind of struggle for power and profit has always been unscrupulous. Even I know about it."
In his sea of consciousness, Xi Luo said sarcastically.
"That's right." Chen Xiao agreed.
King Duan was too naive. The imperial family was ruthless, and the Seventh Prince would not show any mercy.
At this moment, it was too late to regret.
"What do you plan to do next?" the Third Prince asked.
"I, I don't know." King Duan hesitated, not knowing what to do.
The Third Prince frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back.
At this critical moment, if he also threatened King Duan, it would be no different from adding fuel to the fire. He would not do such a thing.
After a pause, he could only sigh in his heart.
At this moment, a guard of King Duan's residence hurried over. "Reporting to the King, we found it on the side of a river outside the residence..."
King Duan immediately jumped up and grabbed the guard's shoulder, almost roaring, "What did you find?"
The guard lowered his head and said with a sad and terrified tone, "Yes, Young Master Li Huang's corpse."
"Ah, no..."
The Seventh Prince was mad. He let out a painful wail and rushed out.
Chen Xiao and the Third Prince looked at each other and fell silent.
As expected, the Seventh Prince was ruthless. He killed Li Huang without any mercy.
Chen Xiao frowned, "Li Huang is really dead."
"Yes, the Seventh Prince is ruthless. He killed Li Huang in the dark. It's too terrifying."
The Third Prince also had a face full of fear. Killing his own kind, his methods were ruthless, and he was not a good person.
This made him believe Chen Xiao's words even more. The Seventh Prince had been planted with a slave seal by Yi Tianren, and only because of that did his personality change drastically, becoming unbridled.
"You have to tell the Divine Emperor about this and let him decide. He will definitely reprimand the Seventh Prince and show him his power."
Chen Xiao said coldly, giving him an idea.
The Third Prince nodded and said, "This method can work, but it might not work."
As he spoke, he ordered his subordinate and scolded, "You, tell the palace about what happened here. You should know what to say."
"I understand." The guard understood.
"Go."
Chen Xiao smiled, "Didn't you say it was useless? Why did you still send the message?"
The Third Prince sighed and said, "Just do your best."
As a prince, he had many eyes watching him. There were some things he had to do, and he had to take care of his reputation.
